It works pretty well. emerge ppp and then config with pppconfig. To connect, pon, to disconnect, poff. That would be as root, there should be a way to make users do it though. I'm not sure how. Now wvdial, it dials out, then sits for a minute, then disconnects with the error that my password is wrong, which is crap because it is correct. I only got wvdial to work once on another rig. It has never worked on this one though. Anybody have a clue on that one? I just like to have options in case it pours instead of just a little shower. My $.02 and a question as well.
